2017 state visit of the United States to the United Kingdom

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Two separate reasons for nomination. First, this is speculation, and the recent speculation is that this won't occur, at least not in 2017. Second, state visits are WP:MILL and don't all need to be covered in this way. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, as per WP:CRYSTAL. There is no guarantee that this event will happen. Peapod21 (talk) 23:16
 * Delete I agree that this visit is WP:MILL nothing out-of-theordinary or exceptionally notable regarding this potential visit. Comatmebro  (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete It was a legit article while a date was penciled in on the calendar, but given that visit was left out of the Queen's speech a couple of days ago, it seems increasingly unlikely it will happen now.  If the UK government really wanted it, a date would have been set by now (the invitation was given five months ago) and I think following the poor election result Prime Minister May is anxious not to do anything which will attract more criticism of her admin.  And Trump has suggested that he doesn't really want to go either.  This is now firmly an article about something that probably won't happen! Cpaaoi (talk) 10:58, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if it had happened, it would probably have fallen foul of WP:NOTNEWS unless something special had happened during the visit. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:11, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per MILL, CRYSTAL, and NOTNEWS. I think it's a destructive impulse to go to Wikipedia any time there's a mention of anything online, as if Wikipedia was a hobby website for people that like to write summaries. I support a 30 year moratorium on articles. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:03, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per WP:CRYSTAL.Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:35, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, as per WP:CRYSTAL. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me) 04:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW and WP:HAMMER. For the record, I do not agree that state visits are run of the mill; in fact, they can be historic and need to be considered one by one. Bearian (talk) 02:12, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
